Calibrachoa plant named ‘KLECA20810’

ABSTRACT

A new  Calibrachoa  plant designated ‘KLECA20810’ particularly distinguished by a semi-trailing plant habit, and pink flowers with purple centers and yellow stripes, is disclosed.

Genus and species: Calibrachoa sp.

Variety denomination: ‘KLECA20810’.

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT

The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety ofCalibrachoa, botanically known as Calibrachoa sp., and hereinafterreferred to by the variety name ‘KLECA20810’. ‘KLECA20810’ originatedfrom a controlled cross in August 2017 in Stuttgart, Germany between thefemale Calibrachoa parent ‘KLECA17029’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30,836) andthe proprietary male Calibrachoa ‘CA-2016-8001’ (unpatented). Progenyfrom the cross were planted and a single plant was selected in May 2018in Stuttgart, Germany.

‘KLECA20810’ has been found to reproduce true to type in successivegenerations of asexual propagation in Stuttgart, Germany via vegetativetip cuttings.

SUMMARY

The following are the most outstanding and distinguishingcharacteristics of ‘KLECA20810’ when grown under normal horticulturalpractices in Stuttgart, Germany and Latina, Italy.

-   -   1. A semi-trailing plant habit; and    -   2. Pink flowers with purple centers and yellow stripes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH

This new Calibrachoa plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographof a plant grown outdoors in Stuttgart, Germany. The photograph showsthe whole plant, including the flowers and foliage and buds. The colorsshown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventionalphotographic procedures. The photograph is of a plant that is12-weeks-old, taken indoors in May 2019 in Stuttgart, Germany.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY

The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctivecharacteristics of ‘KLECA20810’. The data which define thesecharacteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out inLatina, Italy. Data was collected on plants grown 14-weeks since pottingin a greenhouse with no pinching and using BONZI. Color references areto The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London(R.H.S.), 5^(th) edition (2007).
